The Book of Eli - The tension and bleakness is great. You might think that it would be way over the top but you still feel like it could be a real place/scenario. Would have liked if the scope of the movie was a little wider. SPOILERS COMING UP WHY ARE YOU STILL READING MICHAEL I'M TALKING TO YOU: With a wider scope I think they could have explored the implications of the biblical message in a post apocalyptic world. They introduce the idea that it may have started the whole thing but never resolve the issue. Was Eli just on a quest to catalog it? Did he need only to keep it out of the hands of the bad guys? Or was the actual message of the bible going to affect how things turned out? Maybe there's some symbology in the movie that might help explain it. Did anybody ever watch the anime Evangelion? Michael I know you did. They used a lot of judeo-christian symbolism but it had very little bearing on the story. Once I found out it wasn't really relevant to the story it felt like a distraction. Whatever. Statement from me after seeing the film: "I feel like my life could use a lot more piety and badassery"bottom line: 4 out of 5 1st gen ipods

alexandria VA for work. i'll be flying up here for the next few weeks maybe longer. (edit: 5 weeks) That note I left myself saying the movie wasn't worth having to maintain the time paradox seems fairly authentic considering is has a picture of homer with a thought bubble around the message and a p.s. with a detail to the puking/peeing/streaking incident down in melbourne that I never shared with anyone but I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow?! :OMike you should've told me you were going to be in town I might could've convinced my manager that I wouldn't be able to fly up to VA until next week. Oh well seeya when I seeya! edit: The family guy episode that's on while I was typing this post has time travel!
